The answer
TWEEN
What tween means
A child who is between early childhood and adolescence, typically between the ages of eight and twelve years old.
Where the word comes from
From the prefix "tween," short for "between," which emerged in the 1960s to describe children aged roughly 8–12—no longer quite teenagers but past early childhood. The term blends "teen" with the notion of being caught between two stages of life, eventually becoming a marketing category and everyday descriptor for that in-between age group.
